Once I had finished the border on the Cindy Shawl, I transferred this project to my Della Q Hatbox and started working the border.
Finding a good color for the border was quite a challenge. The yarn of the shawl is The Unique Sheep Verve, which is a fairly hard sock yarn, so I knew I needed a similar yarn for the border. I searched in my stash for all of my sturdier sock yarns and made a list of likely candidates, and where they were stashed and then just went diving. In the end I picked Sundara Yarn - HIgh Twist Sock in “Oh, The Places You Will Go”. The next challenge was the beads. It took me a while, but in the end I settled on Matte/Raku Teal/Plum. The colors were not something that I originally thought of, but I’m very happy with how it is all coming out.
